EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic beauty of "The America" yacht as she appeared in 1885 after an extensive rebuilding. The image, taken by an American photographer in the 19th century, showcases the vessel's grandeur and elegance. "The America" is depicted here during her last commission before undergoing significant renovations. It is a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication that went into restoring this historic yacht to its former glory. The photograph was later used as an illustration for Herbert L Stone's book, "The 'America' Cup Races" published around 1905. In this early twentieth-century snapshot, we see "The America" sailing gracefully on calm waters, with its sails billowing in the wind. The image evokes a sense of speed and excitement associated with competitive yachting races. As a symbol of both sporting prowess and technological advancement at the time, this print offers us a glimpse into history. It reminds us of how transportation has evolved over time while highlighting the enduring appeal of sailing as a recreational activity. With its timeless charm captured through photography techniques, this artwork from Bridgeman Images transports us back to an era when yachts like "The America" ruled the seas with their grace and power.
